Most recent user reviewsScore 5 out of 5 Nice Resort Anonymous, Denver, CO Be sure to take advantage of the hotel shuttle service to the San Diego Int'l Airport, Sea World and downtown San Diego.The Dana was a very nice place to stay... clean, comfortable and a very friendly staff. The rooms are tastefully decorated... the marble/granite countertops in the bathrooms add a very luxirious feel to every room. It is very close the Sea World and few a minutes from San Diego International Airport. It also has two nice restaurants onsite. Score 4 out of 5 Great Atmosphere Anonymous, Boise, ID, 2007-03-12 The Hotel was just a short drive to Sea World and the airport. The Dana also provided a free shuttle to these two areas, which made it very nice. It also was only a short drive to Pacific Beach, although the shuttle didnt take you there, all you had to do was ask for a cab and they called you one.The Dana on Mission Bay, was very nice, it was close to Sea World and the Beach. The rooms were nice and I liked the fact that the sinks were seperate from the shower. That made it quite alot easier to get ready in the morning.The property was very well kept up and had a great view from each hotel room. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Score 5 out of 5 Great Hotel Anonymous, 2007-02-10 It's a short drive to the Ipay one center or Sea WorldI really liked the room and the area it is in. The only negative feedback I have is that I ordered room service and waited too long. I had to call back and noone new about my order or had a reason on why I did not receive my food.

Score 5 out of 5 The Cleanest, Freshest, most beautiful view Anonymous, 2006-08-17 Bring snacks. The room has a refrig and coffee maker...GREAT help. There are NO places to eat if you want something QUICK or have returned late from seeing the sights and are hungry.Really, the pearl of the Mission Bay. Greated by a sculpture of playing children, a pool looking over the bay and a charming front desk staff, I was immediately enchanted. I was not disappointed when I got to my room on the pool side, second floor facing the bay. I loved it. Your cleaning staff is efficient and friendly. Security is visible and kind. I did not use the pool because we were there to play golf, see the zoo and sea world. Now for the improvements. The restaurant althought a delight to sit in, was just that a place to sit in. The waitress was kind and attentive, but the cooks were WAY to slow. After we placed our order and ate the entres we waited for one and half hours for the main dish which upon arrival was not cooked. The rice was hard, the pasta aldenten could break a tooth, and the slamon was dry. The waitress did all she could to work with the cooking staff who were definitely at fault. One evening we arrived late and tired. I went to order from the restaurant, and all the quick meals were gone even the soup of the day was depleted, so I called room service at 9:25 PM, well guess what they closed at 9:30 PM and did not take my order. OK...there are no other options to a couple without a car. So we sat and the room and ate airplane crackers, bananas and peanuts. Recommendations for improvement. Create a fast food menu or maybe a snack area by the pool, that provides quick service once room service is closed. Talk to the cooking staff and try the McDonalds approach...TIME the Delivery...anything over an hour is grounds for a serious discuss and if the waitress can keep the peace, like our waitress did that night (we weren't the only group complaining) give her a raise, we certainly left her a good tip, just for her pain and suffering. But would I go back again....YES, in a heartbeat. I loved everything but the food service. Your hotel is great, a great price and with a few, just a few in your food service...I would live there! Score 5 out of 5 Great views! Pamela, Wichita, KS, 2006-05-29 Ocean side beach is very close. You can also see the fireworks from Sea World in the evenings.The room was very clean and comfortable. The view from the hotel room balcony was beautiful and very relaxing. The checkin was quick and painless as well as the checkout. Hotel staff was friendly and eager to please. Several beaches are very close by. I would recommend this hotel for families or a romantic weekend getaway. Score 4 out of 5 San Diego Family Dream Spot Rachel, 2006-04-22 Nestled on a marina within hearty walking distance to Sea World (also have free shuttle), numerous state parks and beaches around San Diego's gorgeous Mission Bay, Paradise Point and Mission Beach. We surfed, rented bikes to cruise the beach, swam in fun hotel pools, did all the La Jolla reef walking and College touring- it was a dream vacation.The Dana is nestled in a wonderfully convenient family-friendly location with tons of fair weather local attractions, particularly for the active family. The rooms themselves were basically an upgraded motel- clean and remodeled. The pool side window didn't damper the outside noise and the in room air conditioner/fan unit was very loud. Room service food tasted great once it arrived-- but they really boofed our 2 orders. It took a LONG time for our pizza (which they kindly took care of for us). The teaser was the service of ice cold beers that weren't twist off with no opener and watching them sweat as we ate the yummy pizza and waited for an opener... Overall I was delighted with the hotel, staff and location. It's probably the best area to stay in San Diego. Score 5 out of 5 close to entertainment and beach Anonymous, 2006-04-04 Sea World is in walking distance and so are a couple restaurants.The view was beautiful and also was near to a lot of family oriented things. The only negative thing was the size of the room. It was clean and the view was nice. Score 5 out of 5 Review joseph, Des Moines, IA, 2006-02-21 No review provided by user Score 2 out of 5 Nice, but no water... Victoria, Los Angeles, CA, 2006-02-11 Nice size room (was up graded for free, which was nice). But no amount of nicenes or luxury will compansate for the fact that there was no running water from midnight, until check out at 11am. My request to extend my check out time to 2pm due to the situation was denied. |
